More than just a race.

At first glance this is just a book on a race, a bicycle race at that, not something typically near to American's hearts. But this was the 2004 race when something happened.

And that something was Lance Armstrong, a Texan, a cancer survivor, and already five time winner of the race going for an unprecedented sixth victory. Of course you know that he won, just look at the title of the book. His winning is in the details. How does he train, the unconventional climbing rhythm, his single minded focus on this race, and this race alone is seen as an insult to the rest of the sport.

This book is guaranteed to make even the least interested cycling fan perk up in interest. It's well illustrated, well written and covers a fascinating individual.
